Al-Maqasid Institute is dedicated to preserving and transmitting the Islamic spiritual and intellectual tradition through deep learning, reflection, and character development.

This retreat, On Love of the World, is a contemplative weekend designed to help participants examine their relationship with the dunya through the teachings of Imam al-Ghazali, particularly Book 26 of Iḥyā’ ‘Ulūm al-Dīn.

Through guided lessons, reflection, and collective learning, the retreat invites attendees to slow down, reconnect with intention, and realign their hearts toward what truly matters. It is an opportunity for spiritual grounding, inner purification, and meaningful connection with sacred knowledge in a supportive and focused environment.
